The detection mechanism of glow discharge plasma in neon indicator lamps has been
investigated in the terahertz and microwave spectral regions. The influence of the THz …

A miniature neon indicator lamp, also known as a glow discharge detector (GDD), costing
about 50 cents, was found to be an excellent room temperature terahertz radiation detector …

We present an inexpensive technique to obtain a three-dimensional (3D) millimeter wave
(MMW) and terahertz (THz) image using upconversion. In this work we describe and …

Chirp or frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar is a very well-known method
for range applications. Using the current technology, conventional FMCW radar for W-band …

Miniature neon indicator lamps acting as glow discharge detectors (GDD) are candidates to
serve as very inexpensive room-temperature Terahertz radiation detectors and as pixels in …

A well-known method for range applications is chirped frequency modulated continuous
wave (FMCW) radar. We offer a simple way to measure the distance to the object target with …

Applications of millimeter waves (MMWs), especially MMW imaging, are required in
medicine, homeland security, communication, and space technology. The lack of a fast and …

Today, the fact that THz and mm-waves can be used in many areas of our daily lives reveals
the necessity for devices that can efficiently detect these waves. Due to the low energies with …

In recent years, much effort has been invested to develop room temperature inexpensive,
but sensitive, millimeter wave (MMW) and terahertz (THz) detectors that can be used as …

A new concept of millimeter-wave (MMW) imaging system is demonstrated in this letter. The
new concept is based on glow discharge detector (GDD) focal plane array (FPA) and a basic …
